arresting distraction on every corner. But
to set up for the day properly, try Tapas 24
(Calle Diputación 269; +34 93 488 0977;
www.carlesabellan.es), a casual ofshoot
of chef Carles Abellan’s more upmarket
restaurant Comerç 24. It’s here that the
humble toasted sandwich gets a Barcelona
makeover. 'Bikinis', so named for their
triangular shape, are flled with cheese
and jamón ibérico, and toasted until their
insides spill out. A tall glass of juice, made
from the sweetest Valencia oranges, is an
incredible burst of citrus to clear even the
foggiest ‘I spent the night propping up
every bar on the Rambla’ head.
Speaking of carb loading, let us introduce
you to smørrebrød, Copenhagen’s favourite
all-day brunch food. It’s basically an excuse
to take a piece of bread and cover it in
pretty much anything, from pâté and
luncheon meats to slices of herring. Try
one at Aamanns (Øster Farimagsgade 12,
+45 3555 3344; www.aamanns.dk).
Fair warning: while Copenhagen is a
beautiful city with a lot of bicycles, it’s not
exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to
cofee. There is, however, The Cofee
Collective (Jægersborggade 10, +45 6015
1525; www.cofeecollective.dk) which is so
well regarded it’s done cofee exchanges
around the world, including a stint at
Sydney’s Paramount Cofee Project.
pho real
Not that every morning should start on a
base of bread and fat. There’s also noodles.
Ho Chi Minh City, one of the most bustling
towns in South-East Asia, where even
crossing the road requires an act of faith
(trafc signals being more of a suggestion
than a rule), is flled with history and life.
And soup. Pho, the most restorative of all
the breakfast soups, is as much a part of
Vietnamese culture as the Mekong. And
Pho 2000 (1–3D Phan Chu Trinh; +84 8
3822 2788), opposite Ben Thanh Market,
has become a mainstay of broth-lovers’
itineraries since ex-US president Bill
Clinton visited in, you guessed it, the year
2000. Clinton’s daughter Chelsea ordered
vegetarian pho but we’d counsel strongly
towards ordering the original: that’s a
clarifed beef soup with rice noodles, thin
slices of rare beef, fresh basil, a squeeze of
lime and a sprinkling of bean shoots.
Now, what’s for lunch?
